tsf - type a structured file 
 
tsf in=file [parameter=value]
... 
 
tsf types the contents of a structured binary file (see filestruct(3NEMO)
)
in a human readable form on the standard output. The type, tag, dimensions
(if any) and contents of all items are listed. The contents of CharType
items are printed directly;  FloatType and DoubleType items are printed
in floating-point notation; all other types are printed in  octal for portability
reasons (see octal= below). XML format can optionally be selected as well,
but this is not been well exercised. A json mode has been considered. 
 
The following parameters are recognized in order; they may be given in
any order if the keyword is also given. Use --help to confirm this man page
is up to date.  
- in=file 
- Input data is read from file, which must be a structured
binary file. No default. 
- maxprec=t|f 
- If true, print float and double item
data with maximum precision. [Default: f]. 
- maxline=lines 
- Limits the number
of lines of data typed for each item to lines. See allline= below. [Default:
4]. 
- allline=t|f 
- Print all lines, it overrides any value of maxline. If xml
format selected, allline will always be set to t. [Default: f]. 
- indent=set-indent
- Amount to indent contents of item-sets. [Default: 2]. 
- margin=right-margin 
- Righthand
margin for output. Set this to a high value to prevent possible string problems
if file needs to be read by rsf. [Default: 72]. 
- item=item-name 
- select only
this item for output. Default: all items selected. 
- xml=t|f 
- Output in xml mode?
 If not, old-style human readable tsf mode is selected. [Default: f]. 
- octal=t|f
- Output of (short/long) integers in octal? Old versions used to exchange
integer information in octal, we have now switched by default to decimal
(more human readable). By using  octal=t you can force this program back
in the old mode. If take output of tsf to be read into rsf, you now need
to force octal=t. [Default: f].

The algorithm for implementing maxline is crude. 
If indent= and margin=
are choosen too large, resp. too small, they can bump into each other and
cause illegable output, which cannot be read by rsf either.
